وَ نَسْاَلُ اللہَ رَبِّیْ وَ رَبَّكُمْ قَضَآءَ حَوَآئِجِیْ فِی الدُّنْیَا وَ الْآخِرَۃِ یَا اَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِیْنَ

wa nas-alul laaha rabbee wa rabbakum qazaaa-a hawaa-ejee fid dunyaa wal aakherate yaa arhamar raahemeen.

And we ask Allah, my Lord and your Lord, to fulfill my needs in this world and the hereafter, O Most Merciful of all.

Then move forward and say :

اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ اَيُّهَا الشَّهِيْدُ

assalaamo a’layka ayyohash shaheedo

Peace be on you O the martyr.

اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ اَيُّهَا الْاِمَامُ الْمَعْصُوْمُ

assalaamo a’layka ayyohasl emaamul ma’soomo

Peace be on you O the infallible Imam.

اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ اَيُّهَا الْاِمَامُ الْمَظْلُوْمُ

assalaamo a’layka ayyohal emaamul mazloomo

Peace be on you O the oppressed Imam.

اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ اَيُّهَا الْاِمَامُ الْمَسْمُوْمُ الْمَغْمُوْمُ الْمَهْمُوْمُ

assalaamo a’layka ayyohal emaamul masmoomul maghmoomul mahmoomo

Peace be on you O the Imam who was poisoned, the distressed, the grief-stricken.

اَشْهَدُ اَنَّكَ الْاِمَامُ الْهَادِيْ وَ الْوَلِيُّ الْمُرْشَدُ

ash-hado annakal emaamul haadee wal waliyyul murshedo

I bear witness that you are the Imam who guides, the guardian who shows the path,

اَبْرَاُ اِلَي اللهِ مِنْ اَعْدَآئِكَ

abra-o elal laahe min a-a’adaaa-eka

I turn to Allah by dissociating from your enemies

وَ اَتَقَرَّبُ اِلَي اللهِ بِمُوَالَاتِكَ

wa ataqarrabo elal laahe be-mowaalaateka

and I seek closeness to Allah by befriending you.

صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْكَ وَ عَلٰي اٰبَآئِكَ وَ اَوْلَادِكَ

sallal laaho a’layka wa a’laa aabaaa-eka wa awlaadeka

May Allah send His blessings on you and your forefathers and your children,

بِرَحْمَتِكَ یَا اَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِیْنَ

be-rahmateka yaa arhamar raahemeen.

by Your mercy, O Most Merciful of all!
